Maykel Loomans is a design leader with 15 years of experience building product and design organizations that ship high-quality, scalable experiences from pixels to platform. Currently Design Director, Design Infrastructure at Brex, he blends hands-on product craft with team growth—having scaled design from 17 to over 50 people while improving hiring, career paths, and design system quality. He rotates between individual contributor and leadership roles to tackle both deep product problems (tables, search, mobile V1) and platform-level velocity improvements. Formerly head of product & design at Glossier and a product designer at Facebook and Instagram, he has repeatedly led high-impact launches and design system transformations. Based in San Francisco, he also hosts the Full Stack Whatever podcast, revealing a curiosity for the stories behind design and engineering work.
